It's the first movie in which the trope of Eddie Murphy playing all the characters started from.

Definitely not.

The costumes cameo of multiple characters started WELL before the nutty professor. “Being other people” was part of what made Eddie Murphy so famous originally.

Coming to America is, to my recollection, the first where he plays multiple characters.

I watched Coming to America several times before watching the bloopers that play during the credits and realized he also played the white guy in the barbershop lol
